Had a friend who marched to a different drummer if you agreed or shook hands on a deal it was a binding contract if you did not keep up your end then he would go to plan "B". This you did not want. He noticed that his commercial crab pots were coming up empty but they would have fresh bait. One day my friend took a pair of high powered glasses up on a point where he could observe and watched a fellow he knew pull his pots, as soon as he could he faced the other guy who denied ever pulling the wrong pots. several days later when he was out pulling pots when he reversed nothing happened it seems somehow the prop nut had vanished also the prop on his 45 footer.Oh did I mention my friend was a comercial diver als
ne other time my friend had bankrolled what he thought was a friend, who promised to pay him back before he left port, when my friend caught him loading groceries for a trip he asked for his money but was assured he would get it before the other guy left, unfortunatly the other guy tried to pull out a bout 3 am tore his engine off the engine beds darn near sunk his boat, seems someone had chained his prop to the skeg of his boat. Like I said my friend marched to a different drummer but a better friend did not exist as long as you understood to him there was only black and white.
